Tracing the Tribe is a blog about Jewish genealogy - All the developments, tools and resources you'll need to peer more closely into your family tree. Created in 2006 at JTA's request, it is now independent.

The Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Boston's next meeting will focus on advanced Googling for genealogical purposes. The event will take place from 1.30-4.30pm, Sunday, January 6, at Temple Emanuel in Newton Center, Massachusetts.

Google is a simple and helpful way to search the internet, but are you getting just what you want or need? When you get a promising looking return, do you know how to get the most out of it? Did you know there are many more very useful things Google can do beyond that simple search screen? These and many more questions will be answered at the program.

Presenter Michael Marx of Lexington has been researching his German roots since 2001 and can now trace his ancestors to the mid-1600s. Much of his success has come from searching the World Wide Web, and his primary tool has been Google.
